Merely removing hatred does not bring the Ānanda of the heart. There must be ‘friendliness’ too; that is, the meaning is: remove hatred, plant friendliness. If one thinks that merely being without hatred is ‘Bhakti’, then against whom does a wall, a tree, a hillock, an anthill or a clod of earth have hatred? Against no one at all. What folly to think that on this ground alone a wall, a tree or a hillock has Bhakti!
